I like me stock 17'' inchers but I do wish they weren't so far in. Is it possible to use spacers to push them out far enough to where there just about flush with the fender. You know what I mean.
Or is it better/more cost effective to just get some new rims with a closer offset?

 

Is it possible? Yes.

Is it better? Well, that's up to you as it's subjective to opinion; I'm not a fan of excessively large spacers but if you love the stock wheels and want them to be flush then more power to you.

Is it more cost-effective? I'm "fairly" certain even if you went with 2" spacers all around it would be cheaper than a new set of wheels/tires... so, most likely yes again.

Go with what you love bro

 

I'm with you on this one. I love the style of my chrome 17's, I thought I was the only one. Well said by NorthStyle ^

 

i've got front spacers on to fit the LS calipers on my OEM 16's... and they fill out the fenders really well... look at 25mm (REAR) and 15mm (FRONT) spacers for stock wheels

 

I have 30mm spacers in the rear and it's still not flush. But I don't want it too close to the fender. I'm gonna put 30mm ones on the front too

 

I also like the stock rims. I have spacers fitted front and back which has them sitting well imo...

 

30mm on the front makes the tire stick out a little too much. If you want flush go with 25mm front and 35mm rear. It also makes your want to lower your car more because you notice the wheel gap more....but I don't want to be that low in the front :/

 

Just bag your car, that'll make no need for spacers I personally dont like using such large spacers, I fee its unsafe,.
